32 | Allegation: Licensee did not follow infection control practices.
It is alleged that a client tested positive for Covid, facility ran out of masks and it took a week to have supplies replenished. LPA inspected supplies and there was a sufficient supply of masks and gloves. LPA interviewed 6 staff and each denied the allegation and stated that they have never been out of supplies and do not recall being out of masks during the time that C1 was covid positive. Staff also stated that C1 was isolated in efforts to keep the virus from spreading to other clients and staff, and all infection control practices were followed. LPA interviewed 3 Clients and 2 out of 3 Clients denied the allegation and stated that staff were using masks, gloves, cleaning and disinfecting regularly when there was a covid positive client and that C1 was isolated during that time also.
Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff/clients, review of client files and facility file records, there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegations. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview held, and a copy of this report was provided. |
